Literary Witches: A Celebration of Magical Women Writers

An inventive guidebook that pairs imaginative vignettes with whimsical, folkloric illustrations

Literary Witches reimagines visionary writers as witches: both are figures of formidable creativity, empowerment, and general badassery. Through a series of thirty lyrical portraits, Taisia Kitaiskaia and Katy Horan honor the witchy qualities of well-known and obscure authors alike, including Virginia Woolf, Mira Bai, Toni Morrison, Emily Dickinson, Octavia E. Butler, Sandra Cisneros, and many more.

Perfect for both book lovers and coven members, Literary Witches is a treasure trove of creative and courageous women who aren't afraid to be alone in the woods of their imagination. Kitaiskaia and Horan conjure evocative, highly stylized depictions of history's most beloved female authors, introduce enchanting new writers, and invite you to rediscover the magic of literature.

Published by Seal Press, 2017

Hardcover, 128 pages, 6.3 x 8.1 inches

ISBN: 978-1-58-005673-1 Available at Draw Down

I think the other thing i love about Conclave is some of my favorite poets and writers are queer people who are/have been profoundly devoutly religious like the moment i found out benjamin alire sáenz went to monastery and was on track to becoming a priest before becoming a writer I was just like "Aha! That's what it fucking was, that's where this philosophical torturous burden and deep empathy for others I'm feeling from your work comes from" deeply intellectually curious devout clergymen are such interesting people, its delicious, you cant get that shit from anywhere else

#or like james baldwin #they always have some kind of deal like truly never not fascinating #and then there is also the connection between one's craft being linked to godliness and needing things to be extremely well made #the devotion to extremely well constructed custom garments and pressed linens and food and ink and wax seals and painstaking paintings #gay af honestly - the catholic OBSESSION with aesthetics and creation and suffering for art #makes me want to write an essay on this movie #also wonder how this would feel if i wasnt catholic and didnt speak a romance language which meant i didnt need subtitles at all #like what if i didnt know the sins or the papal selection process or about the flame/smoke #conclave 2024 #conclave

So, depending on how my situation is gonna turn out, i may stop interacting with people as much on this blog (asks, tags, reblogs, etc.) and just focus on dailies. Everyone else on the sealsdaily team might also pitch in to do that instead if they see this, but in any case this is how it's gonna be. I'm still gonna be posting on my main blog, it's just gonna be ordinary everyday posting though. In any case, I hope you guys understand. Love you all 🦭

#not daily #mod ribbon #It's really not a big deal btw im just trying to wean myself off of posting and try to focus more on more pressing things in my life #harbor seal #phocidae #baby seal

A grey seal with her pup at the Donna Nook National Nature Reserve in north Lincolnshire, down the coast from Cleethorpes. Every year the seals come in late October, November and December to give birth to their pups near the sand dunes, a spectacle which attracts visitors from across the UK.
